The sky was slightly bright, and the servant girl Lianyue got busy.
Lianyue is thin and not very strong, but she is agile in her hands and feet, and she is also a diligent person. She keeps the Jishui courtyard in order, and the third lady who serves the Jishui courtyard, Wen Qiao, is also very careful and caring.
Putting the copper basin filled with hot water on the shelf, Lian Yue just entered the inner room, and found that the people in the room had already got up, and were leaning on the bed and coughing softly.
Lianyue hurriedly walked over, and gently patted the back of the coughing master, seeing her coughing so much that her back was bent, her heart ached, she said softly: "Miss, your medicine is three days late, and I will go to the front medicine hall later. Hurry up."
Speaking of this, Lianyue frowned slightly, knowing that she didn't know if she could get the medicine, but she couldn't watch her young lady suffering from illness every day.
The cough seemed to take away all her strength, and when she finally calmed down, Wen Qiao leaned against the servant girl sleepily, her breath a little weak.
"Miss..." Lianyue looked at her worriedly.
"Need not."
Hearing the master's weak voice, Lian Yue hesitated to speak, but seeing her pale face, she didn't say anything.
Wen Qiao is the first daughter of Wen's family, and the only girl in the long house.
He was supposed to be born with gold and jade, and was expected by his family, but because he was born weak, even if he had the talent of heaven, he was also limited by his natural muscles and veins were weaker than ordinary people, so he couldn't bear too much vitality of heaven and earth, and he fell behind on the way of cultivation. Others are more than enough than the top and more than the bottom.
Lian Yue feels sorry for her young lady very much, whenever she sees her working hard to learn the martial arts of the Wen family, but is limited by her frailty, unknowingly she is despised and ignored by the Wen family, and even the medicine she usually takes is occasionally taken by some greedy servants I couldn't help but think, if the old man and his wife hadn't died in the monster riot, at least the young lady had someone to rely on in the Wen family, instead of disappearing like a transparent person among the many descendants of the Wen family.
Wen Qiao didn't know anything about the maidservant's thoughts, and after washing up with the maidservant, she sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals and had breakfast.
Breakfast is porridge made from ordinary white rice.
The white porridge is boiled to make an ointment, which is smooth and delicate. Although it is not Lingmi, it tastes good. It is served with side dishes carefully marinated by Lian Yue. It is refreshing and delicious.
However, Lian Yue felt that her own lady ate too little. Which of the ladies who cultivated martial arts in the courtyard didn't have a few bowls of rice for a meal. Cultivators would consume more energy than ordinary people, and they could only make up for it from food, even if she Miss Jia only practiced for less than half a day every day, which is also cultivation.
After eating breakfast, Wen Qiao sat in the flower hall and fetched the "Travel Notes of Shengwu Continent" that I had turned through a few pages yesterday to read.
Lianyue quickly tidied up the house and went out.
Half an hour later, when Lianyue came back, she didn't say anything about going to the front to urge the medicine just now, and Wen Qiao didn't ask, the result was the same whether she asked or not.
Lian Yue held a branch of Danhuang flower in her hand, with layer upon layer of petals, bright red and bright, placed on the desk, it was really pretty.
Lian Yue asked: "Miss, do you look good?"
Wen Qiao glanced at it, her voice was still clear and cold, "It looks good."
Although she couldn't hear a trace of praise, Lian Yue was still very happy, and said happily: "Miss, today is your wedding day, I know that the Wen family will not hold a wedding ceremony for Miss, maybe they have already forgotten, but The servant will never forget! When the servant passed by the Changchun Garden just now, he saw the Danhuang flower in the garden in full bloom. Hearing that it was Miss Fourth’s favorite flower, no one else was allowed to pick it casually, so the servant secretly picked one and brought it back. A lovely gift for our lady... ”
Wen Qiao's movements of holding the book paused slightly, and a dazed expression appeared on her usually indifferent face.
Lian Yue saw that although she regretted mentioning it, she couldn't pretend that she didn't know anything.
If even she is forgotten, who else in this world will remember that her young lady is old enough
The Tangling Kingdom emphasizes martial arts over culture, and doesn't pay much attention to traditional customs. However, if most prestigious families value their children, the custom should be held meticulously, showing that they value their children, and at the same time showing their own family to the world. Excellent descendants.
It's a pity that Wen Qiao is not among the outstanding descendants of the Wen family.
Lian Yue sighed, although her young lady was born noble, she was born weak due to the death of her parents, it is not easy to grow up to such a big size, other things can't be demanded more.
—
Just when Lianyue thought that today was no different from the past, and would pass away smoothly, a major event occurred in Wen's family that could change the lives of their master and servant.
The monarch of Dongling——Emperor Chenghao bestowed marriage on the seventh prince and the third lady of the Wen family, Wenqiao.
After the Wen family received the imperial decree, everyone was astonished.
When the family's second wife, Mrs. Liu, came to Jishuiyuan, she saw a thin girl sitting on the porch reading a book.
She was leaning against the mottled pillars, her crow feather-like black hair hanging down smoothly, making her icy skin and snowy face look even paler and colder. She was wearing a light blue half-worn skirt, without a single adornment on her body, like a green bamboo plant, clean and light, holding a book in her hand, sitting quietly with downcast eyes, cool and elegant, extraordinarily beautiful.
Occasionally, when she coughed lightly, her thin body trembled slightly, adding a bit of frailty to her, which made people feel sorry for her.
Lian Yue found the second lady, she came forward to greet her in surprise, and asked, "Why is the second lady here?"
The second lady was a little embarrassed.
She is a busy person, taking care of the whole family, so she has no time to care about a transparent person like Wen's family. Although the reasoning is the same, but being asked so bluntly by a little girl, the second lady feels somewhat uncomfortable.
Wen Qiao stood up slowly, looking at the second lady with clear eyes.
Those eyes were cold and unwavering, pitch-black and bright, although they were beautiful, they were too cold. The second lady was uncomfortable being looked at by her, and said with a smile on her face: "Ah, congratulations! The emperor sent someone here today to give you and Qi Marriage from the prince."
Ah Ji is Wen Qiao's nickname, which was given to his only daughter by the late Wen family master.
Lian Yue was taken aback, "What? The Seventh Prince?"
The second lady nodded, Jian Wenqiao still had that clear and indifferent look, showing no joy or anger, as if nothing in this world could shake her heart. The second lady sighed secretly. Although the seventh prince Ning Yuzhou is a well-known waste of cultivation, and his reputation is not as good as the third and fifth princes who are geniuses, he is deeply loved by Emperor Chenghao. Alice, the Seventh Prince is much luckier.
Even though they didn't understand why Emperor Cheng Hao chose Wen Qiao as his wife for the seventh prince, they didn't dare to discuss it publicly.
After informing them of this, the second lady did not stay and left soon.
After Lian Yue finally digested the gift of marriage, she looked at her young lady's radiant face, and felt a little frustrated.
The Holy Martial Continent respects martial arts, and the wind of martial arts is prevalent. Although the Dongling Kingdom is only a small country in the east of the Shengwu Continent, it is also influenced by the atmosphere of the mainland. , out of the mortal body, to achieve the body of God and man.
The Wen family is a long-established family in the Dongling Kingdom. It is said that there was once a powerful person who aspired to the great way and ascended to the upper realm in his ancestors. The aristocratic family of the country has a high status in Dongling country.
The descendants of the Wen family are also very competitive, few of the disciples in the direct line have no spiritual roots, and they all follow the way of martial arts.
Although Wen Qiao is frail and sick, when she was five years old, she tested her aptitude with the highest grade Yuan Linggen. She has been practicing with great care these years. Although she has not improved much, she is still better than some mortals who cannot cultivate.
Wouldn't it be a blatant slap in the face for a martial artist to marry a mortal
What's the use of the Seventh Prince being favored by Emperor Cheng Hao again? Isn't he just a waste material? A mortal who can't cultivate can only live a hundred years if he reaches the sky, how can he compare with a martial artist
Not long after the second lady left, another person came to Jishuiyuan and brought Wenqiao's medicine.
Lian Yue saw the familiar white jade bottle, opened it and smelled it, and said pleasantly, "It's the elixir that returns the spring pill!"
Wen Qiao's mother was sick in her womb, and ordinary medicines would not have much effect on her, it would be better to use panacea. However, the elixir is hard to find, even the Wen family with deep background can't provide elixir to cure a girl who has not contributed to the family in three days, most of them give ordinary Huanchun Dan.
Lianyue was very happy, she hurriedly poured water for her young lady to take the medicine quickly, and sighed: "It turns out that this marriage has such benefits, it's really great."
As if it wasn't her who disliked the Seventh Prince's inability to cultivate just now.
After Wen Qiao swallowed the Huanchun Pill, she felt a warm current spread in her tendons, and the bone-biting pain was relieved a lot.
The elixir is really not comparable to ordinary pills.
Seeing that her expression improved a lot, Lianyue was also happy in her heart, thinking to herself, even if the Seventh Prince is a good-for-nothing, she would admit it, as long as her young lady can take more elixir, so as to ease her pain and make her live a better life. Longer, she asks for nothing.
